Perryvile last week by the cars. He
attempted to cross the bridge, was
overtaken by the engine, and ran
over. One OF his legs was missing
when his mangled remains were tax,
en- up, the missing member having
fallen into the river. He had been
tending the circus at Havre de Grace,
and taken too much of that city, fav-
orite beverage away with him.
The following accounts were pass :
ed by the Orphans Court last week !:
First and final account of Joseph H.
Steele, executor Of Andrew Beaston !;
fourth and final account of Job
Haines, administrator of Edwin
Haines, and distribution struck on
same; first and final account of Eme-
line Fl. Brown, administ ratrix of
Sam A. Brown, and distribution
struck on same; fourth and fifth ac-
counts of Daniel Bratton, guardian
of William D. Bratton.
A painful accident occurred to Dr.
Turner on Monday morning last. He
was Strengthening a piece oftelegraph
| wire and holding one end down with
his foot. In pulling the wire to get
the kinks out the end slipped from
under his foot, and the other end
struck him violently in the eye. The
pain was intense, and for a time he
believed he had lost an eye. DR..
Kirk dressed the wound and admin
istered to the sufferer, till the pain
was somewhat relieved.
James Irving, who resides at West
Nottingham was in Elkton for the
first time in his long life of "a years,
yesterday. He had been in the
neighborhood of Cherry Hill and came
down in Lungren's new stage. He
thought Mitchell Hall on the fair
grounds was the court house. Mr..
Irving is not much of a traveller. AL
though raised in Cecil county within
q few miles of Rising Sun be did not
visit that place until he was FL years
old when he went to vote. He makes
his home with Betsy Borland who is
SO years old Wing.
The defiant road supervisors APP.
peared before the board through their
counsel w. Richards who is inspec-
tor in the Sth district, and in.
sisted on being paid for the last
quarter, The Commissioners how
ever cling to their promulgated offic-
ial declaration, not to pay till the
roads were put in order, and offered
the supervisors one more chance to
do the work, and those among them
who put their roads in good condi-
ton before the next meeting of the
Board will receive certificates, and
those who refuse will not. Elton
and his friends will have to 'take up
spades and shovels and nappin' ham
mers' it would seem.
The Rice circus which showed at
Havre de Grace, Oxford and several
places down the peninsula appears to
have been little else than a company
of swindiers and blacklegs. The cir
Gus end of the combination was a
fraud, and the whole org anization
appeared to be composed of frauds.
AT Cambridge, the three card monte
and confidence men swindled one
man out of $500. He had Rice ar
rested, and the magistrate compelled
him to pay the man his money back
under threat of retaining him till fall
for the action of the Grand jury.
Several other similar cases are re.
ported
Jenness poohpoohs the popular fact
that there are any factions in the
democrat party. Sam says it is one
complete hole and German is it's head.
He laughs the cloud laugh of scorn"
at the bare mention of disafection
any where in sight or hearing of the
party, but the Republican party is
full of it. He says he was crooked
in the cradle" and dyed in the WOOL
of that grand, magnificent" old par
ty, If that party doesn't give Sam
uel an office, or place him in the way
Of promotion soon, it would not be
strange if his head should begin to
get sore. Even Ariel might become
faithless, from constant neglect,
though faithful among the faithless
